Behavioral Endocrinology — BIO4192.01

Instructor: Blake Jones
Days & Time: TU,FR 2:10pm-4:00pm
Credits: 4

This course explores how hormones shape behavior and how behavior, in turn, influences hormones. We will examine the physiological, neural, and evolutionary mechanisms underlying reproduction, parental care, aggression, stress responses, biological rhythms, learning, and more. The course emphasizes an integrative approach, connecting molecular and cellular

Bennington Biodiversity Project — BIO4303.01

Instructor: Kerry Woods
Credits: 2
An All-Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) is an effort to compile the full list of species of all groups present in some area on the planet. No ATBI has ever been (or is ever likely to be) completed, but such efforts have provided striking insights into the largely undocumented diversity of the earth.  This class is an ongoing effort towards a working ATBI for

An All-Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) is an effort to compile the full list of species of all taxa present in some area on the planet. No ATBI has ever been (or ever will be?) completed, but this class is an ongoing effort towards a working ATBI for the Bennington College campus (which is unusually diverse for its area). Past terms have addressed fungi, various invertebrate

Biochemistry — CHE4335.01

Instructor: John Bullock
Credits: 4
Biochemistry is an intermediate chemistry course in which students apply principles from general and organic chemistry, as well as general biology, to understand the molecular processes that characterize life. Biochemistry is a broad discipline that is growing rapidly in its scope – new developments and discoveries are being made daily. The goal of this class will be to give

Instructor: Fortune Ononiwu
Days & Time: MO,TH 1:40pm-3:30pm
Credits: 4

Biochemistry is a broad discipline that is growing rapidly in its scope – new developments and discoveries are being made daily. The goal of this class will be to give students a solid background with which they can appreciate the latest developments and research reports. We will begin with fundamental principles of bioenergetics and enzyme kinetics, and then quickly move

Biogeography, Paleoecology, and Human Origins — BIO4317.01

Instructor: Kerry Woods
Credits: 4
We explore ecological and evolutionary patterns in broadest spatial and temporal perspective — “big picture” biology. Our general questions are: What shapes patterns in the ranges and distributions of organisms and in overall biodiversity? How do ecological systems respond to long-term and large-scale changes in environment (glaciation, global climate change, plate tectonics,

Blockchain/Web3 as an evolution of the consumer web — CS2138.01

Instructor: Michael Corey
Days & Time: TH 3:40pm-5:30pm
Credits: 2

The large-scale consumer web has been defined by epochs. The first epoch was defined by the user as consumer: large companies created content which was consumed by the masses. The second web epoch (web 2.0) has been defined by consumer creators, large companies own and deliver content created by users to other users (Facebook, TikTok,

Brain, Behavior, and Cognition — BIO2128.01

Instructor: Blake Jones
Credits: 4
How do animals communicate? What does the brain do? Where are memories stored? Why have different cognitive abilities evolved in different animals? This course will explore these questions and more by integrating across disciplines all aimed at understanding how animals (including humans) behave and think. We will focus on how individuals acquire, encode, interpret, and respond

Calculus A — MAT4133.01

Instructor: Andrew McIntyre
Credits: 4
This course covers the breadth of university calculus: differentiation, integration, infinite series, and ordinary differential equations. It focuses on concepts and interconnections. In order to cover this much material, computational techniques are de-emphasized. Following mathematics courses will focus on techniques and applications, putting the concepts from Calculus A into

Calculus A — MAT4133.01

Instructor: Andrew McIntyre
Credits: 4
This course covers the breadth of university calculus: differentiation, integration, infinite series, and ordinary differential equations. It focuses on concepts and interconnections.
